• Downcoder Updated – http://dietrich.ganx4.com/downcoder/
  An updated version of previously existing Applescript for transcoding MP3s in iTunes for the Mac to lower bitrates. I updated it to work with larger selections of files, added more error-handling, simplified the UI, and got it working with Panther.
• iCal Publishing Support for PHPiCalendar – http://phpicalendar.net/documentation/index.php?title=Using_publish.ical.php
  I added a Webdav server to PHPiCalendar, a web-based iCal viewer, that allows Apple’s iCal calendar to publish calendars to it.
• Del.icio.us PHP Class – http://dietrich.ganx4.com/delicious
  This is a PHP class that wraps the del.icio.us XML API.
• The Whoisgoingtobepresident? API
  I wrote a SOAP/Rest server for interfacing with the ElectoralVote.com data. In the months prior to the 2004 presidential election, this API received thousands of hits per day.
• Ersatz – http://dietrich.ganx4.com/ersatz/
  This is an experiment in building a browser-based 3-pane news aggregator. It uses the XML and XSLT processing components of the browser to render news feeds. It is built entirely with client-side technologies: DHTML, CSS, ECMAScript, XML and XSLT. Currently only supports Mozilla-based browsers, and RSS <=1.0 feeds.
• NuSOAP – http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap
  There are my implementations of SOAP, WSDL and XML Schema in PHP. The client currently achieves interoperability with many SOAP implementations including Apache, Frontier, and Microsoft toolkits.
• Timex4
  This a client-server time-tracking application, with a Web services communication architecture. The server is a SOAP server written in PHP using NuSOAP, and using MySQL for data storage. The client is written in Visual Basic, and resides in the system tray. It was written with the intention of making time-tracking and billing as easy and intuitive as possible. The emphasis was on making the process of tracking time as effortless as possible, with a minimum of steps. I never released this publicly, but used it myself for my consulting and contract projects.
• XPath/XTree/XSelect – http://www.subpop.com/~dietricha
  These are some PHP utilities for creating, parsing and manipulating xml data. I have also have created partial implementations or subsets of XML:DB, SixDML and XSLT, all in pure PHP.
• Flash E-cards – http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/multimedia.php?key=type&value=e-card
  This is a series of e-cards designed using Macromedia Flash, and used as marketing tools to promote new releases from Sub Pop bands.
